This specimen was lot 151 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $20,570. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Frederik V. 1746-1766. Proof AR Speciedaler. København (Copenhagen) mint. Hans Schierven Knoph, mintmaster. Johan Henrik Wold, engraver. Dated 1764 HSK. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 66 NGC PF 65 Cameo. Fantastic moderate toning in beautiful hues of violet and blue. Highest graded for the date and, along with Lissner’s 1799, the highest graded Speciedaler of the 17th and 18th centuries. Another one of the jewels of this Collection. Purchased from B. A. Seaby, March 1972." Danish currency endured several "reforms" in the nineteenth century. Until 1813, 1 ducat = 2 speciedaler = 12 mark = 192 skilling Danske. After the reform of 1813, 1 frederiks d'or = 5 speciedaler = 10 rigsbankdaler = 960 rigsbankskilling. In 1854, the speciedaler was dropped but the remaining denominations were unchanged. In 1874, all the old denominations were terminated in favor of 1 krone = 100 øre, which system is still in use, tho the krone is no longer silver. This type is listed for 1764-65 and is rare as stated. The SCWC lists KM 601 as 1764-IHW but the matching photo shows 1764-HSK as depicted here.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
